Soft breeze

a soft breeze
cools a baby's cheeks
her mom's kiss

Soldier beetle

On a blade of grass
a soldier beetle dances
unaccompanied

rain keeps a beat
on a green awning
summer symphony

After a rainfall

cascade of blossoms
from an early morning rain
cover a footpath

Wet season

Sheets of cold rain

slicing across empty fields

wet season arrives

late morning breakfast

late morning breakfast
left uneaten
too much of spring

in honor of the 13 seek sanctuary in Havana's la Caridad church

Through stained glass windows
streams the sun's morning light
heavenly jewels
